For this project, you will write a story about events or situations from your past that represent, in some way, your experiences with learning. For example, you may choose to write about aspects of your formal schooling your training in music or sports or art of any kind something you learned from your family something you learned with your friends something you taught yourself to do In fact, you may choose to tell a story about several types of learning events from your life. The BEST choices will be learning events and situations that are especially important or meaningful to YOU. Often, we learn best from mistakes we have made or consequences that were less than desirable. These not only provide good lessons, they often mean a lot to us. In this class, we will investigate the positive outcomes of failure, and attempt to not only respond to failure, but to anticipate it productively. Consequently, the learning situations you choose may represent BAD experiences or GOOD experiences. The most important thing to keep in mind for this assignment is that we, your audience, will expect you to tell us a story. Stories are about characters–usually people of some sort–who do something. Things not only happen in stories, they result in something. People who read stories expect them to have beginnings, middles, and endings. And those who tell stories do so with a purpose. WE, your audience, will expect all of these things from the stories YOU share with us.
